Tracing Line

Hana Carpenter

A minimalist living room features a white chaise lounge with gray accents, a floor lamp, a side table with a vase, and two abstract paintings hanging on a light gray wall.

A dark, abstract painting with rough textures features swirling, muted yellow and green tones, forming a misty, winding path through a shadowy landscape.

Abstract painting with dark tones, featuring blurred, sweeping strokes and a subtle light beam crossing from the lower left to upper right against a black background.

Faint but deliberate, Tracing Line follows ghosts. Whose path are we walking, and who left the breadcrumbs? Carpenter uses the language of painting – moody, earthen tones and elusive, shifting lines to question the ways colonial legacy leaves its mark. The line is not only a formal device, but a metaphor: for boundaries, histories, genealogies, and undoings.
